Flexible manufacturing technologies are gaining importance in recent years to produce a wide variety of geometries cost-effectively and eco-friendly. Reconfigurable tooling is one such technology that has the potential to replace costly dedicated tools with discrete pins that can be configured to the desired part shape by adjusting them locally. In the present work, a comprehensive review of reconfigurable tooling used in various manufacturing processes is presented, and challenges that need to be addressed to utilize it in the circular manufacturing context are emphasized. In addition, the beneficial role of component-specific cushion design on the tooling cost and maintenance is discussed.

摘要

Flexible manufacturing technologies are gaining importance in recent years to produce a wide variety of geometries cost-effectively and eco-friendly. Reconfigurable tooling is one such technology that has the potential to replace costly dedicated tools with discrete pins that can be configured to the desired part shape by adjusting them locally. In the present work, a comprehensive review of reconfigurable tooling used in various manufacturing processes is presented, and challenges that need to be addressed to utilize it in the circular manufacturing context are emphasized. In addition, the beneficial role of component-specific cushion design on the tooling cost and maintenance is discussed.
